Rae's Talk Of The Town

We may need to hold on to our hats as the winds of change blow through our lives to lift our spirits, increase our self-confidence and improve our overall well-being today. The inspirational Sagittarius Moon leads the planetary parade until lovely Venus enters impulsive Aries and harmoniously trines red-hot Mars. It's not easy to restrain our enthusiasm for bold new ideas, especially when quicksilver Mercury joins opinionated Jupiter later in the day.

Love is in the air with romantic Venus now visiting your sign until March 31. And whether or not anything actually pans out in reality, today you are pretty upbeat about the potential. But don't overplay your cards. Your unbridled optimism could make someone else feel uncomfortable and even overwhelmed by your energy. Express yourself, but don't forget to give others enough room to breathe.

Your key planet Venus is hosting a cosmic party today and although you will likely enjoy yourself, the activity can become a bit too much for you. But you aren't willing to be the one who pulls the plug on all the fun. In fact, you will probably encourage everyone else to push the limits and take the pleasure even further. Meanwhile, keep in mind that you don't have to go along for the ride unless you really want to.

Your key planet Mercury encourages you to extend your thoughts out beyond the horizon today as it joins expansive Jupiter. Recent recognition at work enables you to see a career path for yourself that has previously been impractical. Just don't turn a workable plan into one that's too ambitious to ever execute. It's challenging to use your common sense now, but it's crucial if you really want to succeed.

You might scare yourself today because you are bold enough to try things that you would usually pass by. This causes others to notice your sense of confidence, encouraging them to have more faith in you. Remain receptive to any support you receive now because your positive attitude can open previously closed doors.

The anticipation may be making you crazy now that go-getter Mars in your sign is harmonizing with attractive Venus. But as sweet as everything seems in this moment, you still have to wait until Wednesday for Mars to be done with its retrograde phase. Avoid frustration by remaining flexible and remember that your insistence won't make something happen faster than it can.

You may uncharacteristically overlook an important detail today because you are more concerned with the big picture. Luckily, your ability to comprehend the interrelated complexities of a tricky situation can be of great help to you now. Just don't waste your intellectual advantage by selfishly looking out only for your own needs. Extending your charity to others will bring good fortune.

You have the ability to charm your way into someone's heart, now that your key planet Venus dances into your 7th House of Relationships and gracefully sidles up to energetic Mars. You are likely to get what you want now, so it's wise to think about your desires before you give voice to your intent. And even though satisfaction feels close, don't get discouraged if it takes more time than you expect.

You are clear in your communications, especially when expressing your feelings today. It's great that your positive attitude is contagious, but there is still a potential trouble spot. Don't pretend that everything is perfect if it is not. You can be such a good salesperson now that you could inadvertently mislead someone into making a poor choice.

You have a solid sense of your place in the world today, which helps you gain more confidence about what you are doing. But this doesn't mean that you must hide your tender feelings, for sharing your vulnerability can open the door to a magical experience with someone special. Don't let the day slip away without telling a friend or lover how much she or he means to you.

You are not in the mood to make plans now because you would rather take the day more spontaneously and decide what's next as you go along. It feels natural for you to enjoy yourself today, especially if you know that next week is going to present more challenges. Nevertheless, it's still not a wise idea to set aside all your responsibilities, even if you really do deserve some time off.

You may be tempted to shop for something you really don't need today. Additionally, you could talk yourself into spending more than you should, especially if you're optimistic about your finances. But you don't have to buy anything now to feel good about yourself and your relationships with those you love. Take the emphasis off the material world and shift it to your personal experiences. A heartfelt conversation is worth more than money can buy.

You can readily see the gains you are making if you have been attending to your health through proper diet and regular exercise. And as much as the power of positive thought affects your well-being, it's not enough. Don't just make idle promises about improving your lifestyle. Turn your words into actions today, for what you set in motion now establishes a pattern for the weeks to come.
